Torben Krüger

Professor Torben Krüger is a Chair for Stochastics at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, focusing on random matrix theory, probability theory, and mathematical physics. His research explores statistical properties of large complex systems in physics, statistics, and engineering.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (2015), Diplomas in Physics (2013) and Mathematics (2012) from LMU Munich.
• Employment: Previously at University of Copenhagen (2020-2023), University of Bonn (2017-2020), IST Austria (2014-2017), and LMU Munich (2012-2014).

His group investigates disordered quantum systems and dynamic evolution on random networks, with applications in neural networks, communication theory, and quantum transport. Key projects include Universality in Disordered Quantum Systems and Dynamics on Correlated Networks.

Notable awards:

• 2021 NNF Project Grant (2.7 Mio. DKK)
• 2020 Villum Young Investigator Award (9.3 Mio. DKK)
• 2017 Carathéodory Dissertation Prize (LMU Munich)

He has delivered invited talks globally, including at Jeju, Oberwolfach, and New York. His work spans supersymmetric methods, Dyson-Brownian motion, and random Schrödinger operators.
